Nemophila maculata (Five Spot) produces delicate white blooms with purple spots on each petal, creating a charming contrast. It thrives in cool to mild weather, prefers partial to full sunlight, and grows well in 6–8-inch pots or garden beds. Native to California, it spread globally for its compact growth and eye-catching flowers.
